There are a few places in the world where I feel totally at peace and in my element. Ballyteague is one of those places. The animals, the smell of a peat stove, the family, the flowers and the walks out to Mabes (the fields) are heaven to me. I look forward to visiting everytime we are in Ireland and carry it in my heart when we aren't there.
We went out to Ballyteague twice – once to celebrate Dar's birthday with the family and once just Dar and I. DD and Peter took Dar and I to Donadea Forest Park - DD and Peter have been going for walks here since they started dating – an amazing place where you can wander for hours in the trees, admire a duck or two, nibble on a choc ice, and see a bit of history.
A quick note about the photo below – Peter and DD's house sits right opposite a canal making the picture all the more pertinent. (I wonder how many times it hasn't been heeded – especially since there is a pub right on the corner)
The rest of the pictures are here – Ballyteague and Donadea - Hope you enjoy the pictures of this very special place and surrounds.
